Yesterday we reported on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit’s decision in DeJohn vs. Temple University, in which Temple University’s former speech code was ruled facially unconstitutional. The decision marks a major victory for Christian DeJohn, the graduate student who sued the university over its speech code, as well as for FIRE, which—together with a host of diverse civil liberties organizations—submitted an amicus brief in support of the case.

FIRE is pleased to see so much attention drawn to the precedent set by the Third Circuit’s decision. We expect to report again soon on the wider coverage prompted by the decision. In the meantime, be sure to read our blog series, which begins with Kelly’s, Adam’s, and Samantha’s posts, if you haven’t already, and keep checking the Torch throughout the week as we continue our discussion of the DeJohn ruling and its implications.
